When Lord Arval asked me about my past victories, the others in the room – Carlena and Parrin – looked at me expectantly and I realised that this was a pivotal moment. Part of my mind scrambled to put together a story about being a real general. Perhaps I could remember enough about the campaigns of Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar from my games of Classic War to reconstruct convincing episodes? This part of my mind saw my companions as being in need of reassurance and justified making up a history for myself as a great general on the grounds of the value of inspiring confidence in their commander.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp214Hvry7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1DS9yWZcR
On the other hand, if I lied now, I would be stuck with having to remember my backstory for my entire time here and inevitably the fake history would have to grow and grow. Even thinking about that made me feel tired. Moreover, these people were no fools, none of them. Probably, they would be able to detect my bullshit and evasions.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNbDrMKDns
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eiIbHNlGQ
If we were to turn the fortunes of the realm around and conquer the twenty-five kingdoms, Arval, Carlena and Parrin needed to become heroes in their own right and be utterly dependable too. You didn't lay the foundation of a victorious team on lies.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZ36itK7l
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHWManPG6
Then too, I knew that if there was ever a time to explain that I was not, in fact, an experienced general it was now, when they had no qualms at all about my leadership.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1DVayEV1t
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVicat8bLp
'I'll answer that question, Lord Arval, but first I have to explain something about the world I come from.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WB4yaE5L

'In my old world, there are no menus for planning the realm, no magic at all and no levels to be obtained by specialists like us.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUE4Gkeeyl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZFxXWRvGR
'No menus?' Lord Arval shook his bald head. 'It must be chaos. How does anything get done? What would stop everyone from making their own plans?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FTMV2GeW0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCeRK59HCI
'Staying on the topic of my battles…' I really didn't want to be deflected into the politics I'd left behind, 'we have games… tournaments… that are very much like what's happening in this world, Regnia. And it is in these tournaments that I have fought and won battles like this one: much bigger battles, with thousands of troops.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtECvaNbIVq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUUvafigI
I wanted to try and express that my game playing experience was a transferable skill to their world. That no commander in real life participated in battles with enemy magic and monsters coming into action, whereas as a gamer I had fought in hundreds. But as I struggled with how to phrase this point, Lord Arval spoke.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1zHnYfknD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre09vY65UM
'Tournaments?' he looked puzzled. 'Of thousands?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35m1ZtCQl7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2DUr7zQQa
'Yes, indeed.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKK3tDiEhV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRCcalvOeE
'Did the soldiers die though?' asked Carlena.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWIXJAaQAt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCIljoYBad
'They died as if they were soldiers, but most were only… models.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiEJnA76Sr

'Golems?' she offered.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87u4I0fqsM

'Yes. That's quite a good comparison.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8sntePxe8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJY6lGs8P
No one spoke and I could not judge the mood of the room until Lord Arval said, 'well sire, if you would, can you tell us about one of your battles in a tournament?' This was greeted by looks of interest from Parrin and Carlena.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YT3HDDGt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4kqBjr6HP
'Happily.' Whether it was the flush of victory that was still upon me, or the wine, or the sense that these people were still with me, despite my confession, I really did feel happy and I enjoyed recounting the final battle of the Crown of the Frost Giant Kings quest in Storm Wars. There, I'd led a raid of over two hundred PCs as we fought alongside a dwarven army in a battle with frost giants.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM367AN9bsB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieBtgd9qQj
I was just explaining how we broke through the shield wall of the bodyguard of the frost giant king when the sergeant of the ballista crew came up the stairs.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfcBOk9flq

'Apologies for the interruption sire, we have the coin.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz049qya6pu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EIQeVWknY
'How much.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml8KhiCbFS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3WwRFP4k7
'Ten gold, a hundred and seventy-two silver and a thousand one hundred and eighteen copper. Plus a few bent and clipped ones.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpMYLZcMXe
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6zTNlFbT
I knew from the economy menus that a gold was ten silver and a silver was ten copper, so the total was 3,838 copper. Arriving at that figure was manageable in my head but to divide it by our 114 soldiers wasn't possible without a calculator. Or maybe I could come at this a different way. If each soldier got 30, that would be 3,420. Then that left 418 divided by 114, which was somewhere between 3 and 4.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO2HWMpxJA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKhdPQtnl4
'Right so, give every soldier thirty-three copper, including our dead. The families can have it. There will be about eighty left over. That can go in the castle coffers.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXvpdvE4SZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJStodnQceH
'Very well sire.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxJOCxO8RQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssr2KEdBzv
The soldiers were getting about a month's pay. Not a bad reward and surely one that would help with my popularity.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBPX9zuI0I
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvrFUpvsl
The sergeant left and I stood up, feeling the aches of my tired muscles. 'I'll tell you about the rest of that encounter another time, if you are still interested.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfevnyWLCU

'Lord Arval, any thoughts on our dispositions before I go?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1UVuMFLDG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8d8ompD2x
The Paladin rubbed his beard. 'It might be wise to keep the light cavalry here to scout and half the archers and the ballista. The rest could be granted two days leave. Then give the other half their two days and once that is over, station most of the army here with enough at Carrick to hold the walls against a sea invader.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9aMjtWQs3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXHcOvA3c
'Make it so,' I did the best to keep a smile from my face as I uttered the words. 'I'll return to the keep at Carrick. I'll be needing a cart.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuicfbCW9ZM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL69DARM6c
'Wait. Shouldn't we consider going on the offensive?' Carlena asked. 'Their morale must be shaken right now.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu5HUJgfT3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXSL0LEns5
The three of them looked at me.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpORvE29T0
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGhuVtoIAI
'That had crossed my mind but let's suppose we march down the valley and engage the other half of their army. What's the best possible outcome? We regain our farmland. What's the worst possible outcome? We lose everything: the whole realm and perhaps our lives. So even if there is an advantage with us, it's a mistake to take the gamble. Especially as this is an excellent defensive position.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs2FduoNqh

The Sorceress nodded and I continued on to the top of the stairs.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj4CcGWFCb

'What about the prisoners, sire?' asked Chancellor Parrin, bringing me to a halt.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1IS0MB4Dg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpT7tlYg5h
'What's the usual practice?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjztLJYNvh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjgoLqkgNX
The chancellor shrugged, 'keep them locked up and perhaps arrange an exchange or include them in truce negotiations?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1qX7ctTC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVU7jG4PKY
'The problem there is food. We are desperately short. There's no tradition of killing prisoners then?'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5zlojGx5q

'That's possible,' observed Carlena, 'but it has consequences. Since they will hate you, it will lower your popularity among the people, which is critically low as it is.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuB2PgbNrh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A12BebTfW
'Right. Oh well. Keep them under guard here for now, minimal rations. Chancellor, as soon as you feel up to it, I'd appreciate you scouting the enemy again.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjUi3VixQ

On arrival at Carrick after an extremely bumpy journey (during which I searched and discovered I could upgrade the road, which when I had completed more urgent upgrades would be useful for swift movement as well as a more comfortable journey), I bid goodbye to Carlena.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Wy88P5BT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItu0P16Gt
On entering the keep I found Figus, my charismatic ambassador, seated outside the solar, waiting for me. He was eating an apple and this caused him some embarrassment as he stood up to greet me and couldn't find a place to put it. Eventually, he just gave a twitch of apology, put it on the arm of the chair and made his bow.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodHXcwgeaz

'Soon enough, but first tell me about your mission.' I strode up to the throne and took my seat, waving away the guards and servants, so that just the two of us occupied the large room.

'Well sire, I rode through Trolland while there was light, skirting their villages and sleeping in the barn of a farmer whose wife took a liking to me. On the morning of the second day I crossed the river Everwald and into the territory of the Necromancer. By afternoon I met the man himself, holding court in a large tent among his troops. And I have to say, I didn't care for the stench of his troops. There must have been a hundred zombies among them.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ixWznPdK

'Well, I introduced myself and explained my mission and it startled him. I don't know what he was expecting, but it wasn't a trade deal. We talked it over and when he realised it was an iron for food agreement, he grabbed my arm, stared into my eyes and said I had to tell you the following: "King Carlos. You are the first of any rulers to send an ambassador to me. I appreciate that. And I appreciate the opportunity to send you our excess food in return for iron. Here's my offer: for each cargo of fifteen iron ingots that arrives to our docks, I'll provide you with a hundred-and-fifty units of food in the form of sacks of grain and rice."'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmiiqaswRv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyna1QkmaD

My ambassador glanced at me, perhaps to confirm I was being sincere. I doubted King Carlos ever gave thanks or compliments. Then Figus nodded. 'And now, sire, if I may, can I trouble you for the details of the battle.'361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDfmPS7ku1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ529vDF3V
It was no trouble at all recounting our victory at Three Ways and Figus made for a particularly attentive audience, encouraging me to provide specific details, such as those of the sounds and smells. Only when a servant came to light the lamps and inform me that dinner was ready did I stop. And even then, having invited him to join me, our conversation was entirely about the battle.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ6lApx2a2

During the day, iron and meat production had edged up, as I had anticipated, and that was very welcome. Iron output should go up again after I assigned the waiting 24 steel pickaxes from the smithy, which I did right away. Food consumption, however, had gone up to 15 from 13, perhaps the result of capturing around 30 enemy soldiers. Even on minimal rations, that was a noticeable drain. It left me only four days away from running out. I felt a chill all over my body, despite the fact I was under warm covers. All the good of the today's victory could be undone unless I solved this issue.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6itk0JBn
